Typhoon swell in Taiwan

Postby BaNZ » Thu Jul 09, 2015 9:03 pm

Unfortunately I can only stay at home and watch my friends go to surf! We've been blessed by the wave Gods and that we have 3 typhoon in a week.

Awesome surf. That is a size that I would feel comfortable with (at my home break)
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Oh, changed the video. Didn't realised I set it to private.

Yes lucky me, if I go out in that condition. I think I'll end up getting rescued.

Ooh, paddling out looks like hard work... find me a point break quick! :shock: :lol:
You'll probably find me surfing, but if not, I'll probably be in the photography studio

The only problem is that the coast guards will not allow anyone in the water once the typhoon gets too close...

2 days after the typhoon and the swell is still good. There's another typhoon closeby next week so if you're in the area. Do pop by Taiwan :)
